Bakery & Snacks

Grain-based products have been identified as the largest contributor of sodium to our diets. In baked goods, the most significant
source of sodium is the added salt which not only adds flavor but serves a functional purpose. Replacing a portion of the salt with potassium salt will provide the same functionality as salt by strengthening the gluten structure, regulating yeast development and limiting microbial activity.
